The Lecture Hall
The Lecture Hall is an elegant, versatile space located on Level 1. It offers a maximum capacity of 450 people in reception-style – but it may also be combined with the adjoining Library to cater for events of up to 1,000 guests.
The room features grand triple height ceilings, natural daylight, and optional black-out facilities – providing a versatile space for holding conferences, seminars, exhibitions, and even graduation ceremonies.
The Lecture Hall also has a built-in stage and customisable lighting, which make it ideal for intimate concerts or ensemble groups. This space is directly accessible from the Grand Foyer, which can be used as a convenient registration area if needed.
